Which married England player misbehaved at his club’s Christmas party?

Yet another ‘baller misuses a festive social gathering

Rumour: A Premier League and England player steamrollered two girls in the back of his car during his club’s Christmas party.

Update: Hey Sherlock, need some help deducing identity of the player? The Kickette ladies are getting all methodical about the denouement process.
